Youths on Keighley rooftop damage charges

Two youths have appeared at court in connection with a rooftop incident in Keighley.

The 16 and 17-year-old boys were arrested by Airedale and North Bradford Police on Tuesday.

They went before Bradford and Keighley magistrates yesterday, each charged with three offences of criminal damage, one of affray and one of causing a public nuisance. The youths cannot be named for legal reasons.

Their arrest followed an incident last Wednesday in which two teenagers occupied the roof of a house in Redcliffe Street, Highfield. When police moved into the property after about ten hours, the pair had disappeared.
